Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song for my new friends and relatives in California to show my love and gratitude. They all banded together to bring me and my wife there to celebrate our anniversary, which is January 1. They put together this huge outdoor bash with a band and an elaborate dinner. The total works.

Lyrics
LONG DISTANCE ROMANCE
D G
It's sure been nice seeing you again, yeah it's been a while
G A
I've really missed your long blond hair, and the sunshine in your smile.
G D
We had a great time, we always do, but we know it's gonna end.
G A D
Cause times running out it did before, and I'm gonna go home again.
G A D
So What Am I Doing in Texas, When You're in California
G D
Nights Are Long and it's Lonely Out There.
G A D
And I Can't Stop Thinking About You, So What Am I Gonna Do?
G
I'm Gonna Sit Right Down, Come Up With a Plan,
A
So That I Can Be Your Full Time Man,
G D
That's What I Gotta Do.
D D
I got a pretty good job in Dallas, not much else to keep me there.
G A
Everything would be much better, if only I had you there with me.
G A D
And there's no doubt that I love you, and you say you love me too.
G A D
Gonna make up my mind it's the right thing to do, before I make my final move.
G A D
So What Am I Doing in Texas, When You're in California
G D
Nights Are Long and it's Lonely Out There.
G A D
And I Can't Stop Thinking About You, So What Am I Gonna Do?
G A
I'm Gonna Pack My Truck With Everything I Need, Give All The Rest To Charity
G D
That's What I'm Gonna Do
G A
I'm Gonna Jump in That Truck, And Put My Foot To The Floor
G A D Cause Everything That I'm Living For-----Is in California
